Evans said the man and woman called 911 to say they had been in a traffic accident near Mykawa and Wayside. However, when HFD personnel arrived at the scene, they couldn't find a wreck. Moments later, the man and woman called 911 again, saying they were closer to Mykawa and Griggs, which is about a half mile from where they had originally said they were. They had driven their car, they said, into a deep ditch.

An HFD Senior Captain used Google maps and other techniques to find the couple's exact location. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene. They walked past a dead end at Mykawa and Griggs and into a grassy area where they found the couple. They lifted the man and woman from 15-foot deep ditch.

The man and woman were not seriously hurt, though they were battered and bruised, Evans said. They were taken to a nearby hospital. Their conditions were not released.

The man and woman had been traveling northbound on Mykawa when they came to a dead end at Griggs. They continued driving over railroad tracks and then across a grassy area before they plunged into the ravine.

Evans said it was unclear why the couple had driven through the grassy area or if the couple had become lost.
